Cervical dilation
Summary
- Cervical dilation is the dilation (widening) of the cervix during childbirth. In the final stages of pregnancy, the cervix may already have opened up to 1-3 cm, but during the first stage of labour, repeated uterine contractions lead to rapid further widening of the cervix to 10 cm.
